Mistle"Toes"

 
One of my favorite Christmas ornaments is my little Mistle"toes" that I made when my little boy was a baby.
 
To make your own, use two packs of green oven baking clay from a craft store, flattened to the size of the baby's foot.  Press the foot firmly into the clay to make a good impression.  After you have the impression, use a sharp knife to cut around the edges of the impression and an ice pick to make a hole in each heel.  Follow the baking instructions on the package of clay.  After baking and cooling, use a hot glue gun to glue the feet together, making sure to match up the holes.  Add some tiny red berries or a little red bow to decorate and put some jute twine through the hole to hang.
 
Now you can reminisce on how tiny your little ones feet once were each Christmas!
